"If the lease contract says the landlord pays the water bill then you..."

It depends on what you agreed upon. Some of the landlords will handle or pay for the water bills but others will have the bill payed by the tenants. It will depend on what`s in the contract of the lease. I suggest that you clarify first with the landlord how will the payment be. If the lease contract says the landlord pays the water bill then you don`t have to worry about it. Donald Reynolds.

There is no written law about who should pay the water bill, the tenant or the land owner. It will depend upon what ever was mentioned in the lease or contract while deciding all the conditions between 2 parties. Whatever is written there should be followed. General trend is that it is the landlord who pays the water charges.

It depends on your rental agreement. Did you rent with utilities included or extra. Most rental units include water, but there is no rule. Did you already rent? Please tell me more about your situation so I can help.

Kilee said: Most water districts have a leak policy that allows forgiveness of a water bill when the owner/renter didn`t know there was a leak. If you knew about it but didn`t fix it you are most likely stuck with it. If your landlord knew but didn`t fix it then they should be held responsible.
